EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-198558-0000" we are transported back in time to the year 1880, where a scene of hospitality unfolds at the renowned "Casa Nova" hospice in Jerusalem. The Franciscan establishment stands as a symbol of compassion and care, offering refuge to those seeking solace or medical assistance. The image captures a moment when several individuals approach the hospice, their faces filled with hope and anticipation. They come from different walks of life, each carrying their own burdens and stories. As they stand before the grand entrance adorned with an elegant business sign, one can only imagine the relief they feel knowing that help awaits them inside. The architecture of Casa Nova is strikingly beautiful, reflecting both its charitable purpose and historical significance. Its sturdy structure exudes strength while also providing a sense of comfort for those who enter its doors. It serves as not just a house but also as a beacon of light amidst challenging times. Within this frame lies an intriguing mix of characters - monks and clergymen dressed in traditional Christian attire alongside members of various ethnic backgrounds donning their native costumes. This diverse group represents the rich tapestry that makes up Jerusalem's population and reflects the city's multiculturalism. This photograph offers us more than just an insight into history; it delves into anthropology, ethnography, folklore - capturing moments frozen in time that reveal glimpses into people's lives during this era. It reminds us that acts of kindness transcend boundaries and religions. As we gaze upon Fiorillo L. 's remarkable work, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize how institutions like Casa Nova have played vital roles throughout history by extending compassion to all who seek it – regardless of nationality or background
